Great, but "some disassembly may be required?",

This review is from: DLO HipCase Folio for iPod nano 3G (Black) (Electronics)
Like the previous reviewer, I also used DLO's 2G iPod nano case, then upgraded to the 3G iPod nano and this case.
It's a fine product, fits easily on a belt, and is pretty unobtrusive. There's one problem (shared with the old 2G version) that's mildly annoying to me - the clear plastic covers both the screen *and* the wheel. It is possible to use the wheel under the plastic, but not easily or with much precision.
My simple solution was to manually cut out a hole in the plastic for the wheel, and this works well enough. Curiously, another DLO product, the 3G "armband" holder, has the "wheel hole" already uncovered.

This review is from: DLO HipCase Folio for iPod nano 3G (Black) (Electronics)
I just bought the case yesterday and my nano 3g today. It seems to be as good a quality as the one I had for my nano 2g. However, the fit does seem tighter than I remember the one for the 2g.
NOTE: The packaging says "Full access to all controls, Click Wheel and dock connector." The part about the dock connector is wrong. The wording was changed for Amazon and the DLO website. There is part of the case where access to the dock connector would be.

This review is from: DLO HipCase Folio for iPod nano 3G (Black) (Electronics)
The leather on this case is very nice. The case has two major flaws, however--
1) It is too tight. you have to take the ipod out to charge it and this is way too hard to do..
2) The plastic cover inside which is supposed to provide extra protection doesn't work - It sticks to the face of the ipod in odd ways so that when you glide your finger in one direction over the wheel, the plastic film sticks, then unsticks itself. This is interpreted by the nano as your finger continuing to glide on the wheel, only in the opposite direction. This results in a little comedy routine - you glide your finger in one direction on the wheel to move down a menu, say. As soon as you pick your finger up. the plastic cover peels itself off the wheel and the menu selection moves back up to where you started. Thus begins the great battle of the plastic film. You try to outsmart it, moving past your menu choice in the hope that when you lift you finger it will go back to what you...Read more
